Shiage 仕上げ — the leather finishing strop
Shiage 仕上げ — the leather finishing strop

Included free in the set above. On its own: not a disc, but a leather pad for the very last pass. A few light strokes after sharpening wipe away the burr, the fine metal dust a fresh edge carries, so the edge stays sharper for longer.

Which stage does your knife need?

Every knife is at one of the six stages. Find where yours is — that is the disc to reach for. Two of them came with your sharpener.

  3. 3 Nakato 中砥 For everyday sharpeningCame with your sharpener
  4. 4 Kasumi 霞 Makes a sharp edge sharper
  5. 5 Hikari 光 For the sharpest edge possible
  6. 6 Uzumaki 渦巻 Keeps a sharp edge sharp — daily

Do I need every stage?

No. The two discs that came with your sharpener cover everyday sharpening. Most people add Uzumaki first — ten seconds a day keeps every knife sharp between sharpens. Each disc is a complete job on its own.

Will they fit my sharpener?

Yes — every Togi Scale disc fits every Hatori rolling sharpener, at both 15° and 20°. Swap discs in seconds; the magnetic angle block does the rest.

How often do discs wear out?

They don't, in any practical sense. Used correctly, the discs keep their cut for years. You buy a new stage, not a replacement.
